11 | Master signifiers

In this episode, I look at the question of what it might be in different/alternate perspectives on theology that causes alarm and offence. To answer the question, I make use of a little bit of psychoanalysis, and, in particular, I refer to Jacques Lacan's idea of "master signifiers". The reading list for this episode is pretty short; the only book referred to directly is Lionel Bailey's "Lacan: A Beginner's Guide."
